There are just six sleeps left before Santa Claus makes his rounds! And your favorite stars from GENERAL HOSPITAL, THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS, THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL and DAYS OF OUR LIVES are in full Christmas prep mode! From picking out the perfect Christmas tree to shopping for gifts, decorating their homes, and even celebrating Hanukkah first, many daytime stars have shared their holiday festivities on social media.

B&B’s Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke), for example, shared a hysterical video of her grandkids, Zuma and Reign, meeting The Grinch.

To celebrate the season, Soaps In Depth has rounded up some of our favorite snapshots of the Christmas prep.

So take a break from wrapping presents and scroll through the gallery below to see how the daytime stars have made this Christmas the most wonderful time of the year!
